55

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
